just as youve typed that ive been doing exactly the same, 9 different tubs of pop ups, i only use 1 type of pop up and have done for a year or so, even then i prob use 2 hookbaits per session, i must like the rythmic rattling sound they make. glugged cork balls, scopex squid,scopex squid red, scopex squid black, the krill, dairy cream, devils dung n cheese, pineapple n nbuteric, bp plus. just brought another 3 tubs today.

knotless knot and outturned eyes for me too,i use this setup for all bottom bait presentations,i cant remember the last time i lost a fish on this setup,stiff riggers or continentals are perfect for this imo. ive never liked the look of some of these rigs with the reduced gape, they obviously catch fish but is it in spite of or because of.

krimps all the way for me theres no knot that comes close to this. any knot on flouro drops the breaking strain instantly. its what they use for big game fishing so is more than up to the job for carping uk and abroad, so much easier than tying knots aswell.
